Advanced Gait Analysis in London with Footscan Technology
Understand the Cause of Your Pain
Pain in your feet, knees, hips or lower back is often caused by the way you move. Traditional assessments rely largely on observation, but advanced gait analysis provides objective data that helps identify subtle movement abnormalities that may otherwise be missed.
At Finchley Foot Clinic, we combine Footscan pressure mapping with our expert biomechanical assessment to understand how your feet function during walking and running. This allows us to diagnose the underlying cause of pain more accurately and create treatment plans tailored specifically to you.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, training for an event or simply want to move more comfortably, advanced gait analysis provides valuable insights that help us deliver the highest standard of care.

What Can Footscan Help Diagnose?
Foot & Heel Pain
Footscan helps identify abnormal pressure patterns that contribute to conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel pain, metatarsalgia and Morton’s neuroma. Understanding exactly where excessive pressure occurs allows us to provide more targeted treatment.
Sports Injuries
Whether you’re a runner, golfer, tennis player or simply enjoy staying active, Footscan can identify movement patterns associated with Achilles tendinopathy, shin splints, knee pain and other overuse injuries.
Balance & Movement
Footscan measures how your feet interact with the ground during walking and running, helping us identify biomechanical abnormalities that may contribute to hip pain, lower back pain, instability or inefficient movement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Footscan suitable for runners?
Absolutely. Footscan provides detailed information about how your feet function while running, helping identify movement patterns that may contribute to injuries or reduced performance. It is particularly valuable for runners experiencing recurring injuries or those looking to improve efficiency.
Does the assessment hurt?
No. Gait analysis is completely non-invasive and painless. You’ll simply be asked to walk or run across the pressure plate several times while the system records your movement.
How long does a gait analysis assessment take?
The assessment typically lasts around 45 minutes. This includes a detailed clinical examination, gait analysis and discussion of your personalised treatment plan.
Will I receive my results?
Yes. Your clinician will explain your gait analysis results during your appointment and discuss how they relate to your symptoms, movement and treatment recommendations.
Will I need custom orthotics?
Not necessarily. While gait analysis helps us determine whether orthotics may be beneficial, treatment recommendations are always based on your individual assessment. Many patients benefit from exercise programmes, footwear advice or rehabilitation instead of orthotics, while others achieve the best outcomes with a combination of treatments.
